Texas SB1190 mandates water audit validations and mitigation plans for municipally owned utilities with over 150,000 service connections.

Texas SB1190 amends the Water Code to require municipally owned utilities serving over 150,000 connections to validate their water audits and develop water loss mitigation plans. Utilities must validate their audits within 180 days and submit plans to the Texas Water Development Board. For utilities with three consecutive years of high water loss, more detailed validations are required. The bill also authorizes administrative penalties of $25,000 per violation and mandates updates to water conservation plans and annual reports.
